Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
It seems strange to be going to work on Thanksgiving, as I have known it, most of my life. Most people in the US, I'm finding, aren't aware that our Thanksgiving is in October. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians. I miss Canada and Canadians in general! I've been thinking over the weekend of all I have to be thankful for and it's overwhelming, we have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful, healthy daughter, a comfortable home, good jobs and amazing families. I love taking the time to actually reflect on the blessings in our life, I realized I don't think about it nearly as often as I should. It's good therapy!
We went to Berry Patch Farms on Saturday to pick out our Pumpkin and we had a great time! Ruby's favorite thing was the big tractor ("ruck!") she got to sit on. She also loved the wagon ride and all the pumpkins. She wanted to sit on every pumpkin she saw, needless to say, we spent a long time looking at pumpkins! We also got homemade ice cream and apples turnovers which were a big hit. The weather has been beautiful!
Ruby is really turning into a little girl, when I look at her pictures now, I can hardly believe how big she looks. She is getting so smart and likes to imitate mommy and daddy. The other day, she got a couple scrubbing brushes out from under the sink and pretended she was sweeping the floor and using a dustpan! We couldn't believe it. She can also now point out her belly (by grabbing two big fistfulls) and also everyone else's belly. She came up to me the other day and pointed at my eye and said clear as day "eye".
Ruby has been biting lately, mostly Mommy. As soon as she does it, she shakes her head "no" and gives me a hug. So she knows it's wrong. I think she may be getting more teeth in and it just feels good. I've been starting to say "NO" firmly and putting her down and walking away and that just about breaks her little heart. She starts sobbing and staggering over to me for me to pick her up again. Phew, this is hard being parents sometimes, knowing the right thing to do!
Check out the video of Litte Miss Chatterbox. She loves to immitate Mommy and Daddy when we talk on our cell phones.
